Gae and everyone, I tried the link listed below and it wasn't accessible, so I
called the Dept. of ED and got another URL for the full text of the report.

The Office of Juvenile Justice and Delinquency Prevention (OJJDP)
announces the availability of =22Annual Report on School Safety.=22
Following the tragic shooting at West Paducah High School in
December 1997, President Clinton directed the U.S. Departments of
Education and Justice to prepare an annual report on school
safety. This first =22Annual Report on School Safety=22 provides
parents, schools, and the community with an overview of school
crime, and describes steps schools and communities can take to
address it.
While schools are among the safest places for children to be on a
day-to-day basis, school safety must be a priority not only for
our schools but for our communities. OJJDP joins Attorney General
Janet Reno and Secretary of Education Richard Riley in their hope
that this Report will encourage schools, families, and
communities to take action against violence in their schools and
communities.
